I've heard good things about POR-15. Someone told me that they used it on a car Chassis and it has resisted re-rusting for over 7 years. Another option is Corroless sold by Eastwood. I've used this o

Ask your insurance company about getting it fixed for free. Mine will pay for the repair done by a glass place - no deductable. That is cheaper for them than a complete window replacement. I think s

Do you mean 'bonk' as in hitting the wall physically when all the fuel runs out? Or, the other 'bonk'? I think, looking at the phrase, 'bonking my motor', he means the same thing you do. Glenn '74 M

Thanks for the tip. What is the normal rate of wear for the graphite ring release bearings. I was told 25,000 miles by a mechanic who replaced one for me one time. Thanks, Glenn Stauffer

Thanks for that information! Wish it was that simple. Out of four cars with manual transmissions, the Midget is the only one that ever needed clutch work. Since the clutch system isn't as fragile as
